The
club aims to maintain contact with interested past players through this website
and through a regular mail-out of a club newsletter. If you or someone you know would like to be
included in the regular mail-outs please contact the club at elsternwickcc@gmail.com
or at PO Box 741 Elsternwick 3185 so that your contact details can be added to
the mailing list.

Past
players are encouraged to contribute to the strength of the Club by attending
functions and joining the Club’s coterie group, “The Wickas”. The Wickas is a group of supporters of the
Club, made up of past and present players and some of their friends. The highlight for the Wickas each season is
the Wickas’ Dinner. The dinner is usually
held in September or October of each year at a local Melbourne establishment,
where Wickas members eat, drink and reminisce about old times. Wickas’ Dinners have been held annually since
1996 at venues such as: -

Wickas
membership costs $130. Members are
entitled to the Dinner (the main item), mail-outs on the performances of the
club, a copy of the Club Annual Report and a discount on attendance at
Presentation Night. Wickas are
recognised by the Club as Social Members and as such are entitled to vote at
general meetings and hold office. As
well as encouraging a supporter base for the club and providing an opportunity
for fellowship within the group, one of the aims is to support the club
financially. Each year the Wickas
provide between $1,500.00 and $2,500.00 towards the Club's finances. A number of members who are unable to attend
the dinner generously donate their membership fees to the club.

Gold
Class Wickas membership costs $150 and entitles members to attend two of Wayne
Howard’s famous gourmet Wickas Barbeques held during the season.
